I would strongly recommend that you not use any Diamond products. I lost a cat to Premium Edge and their recent recall in the Western NY area. This company has had too many recalls and too many pet owners like me have lost beloved animals thinking they were doing something good for them. NO DIAMOND PRODUCTS

I run a cat sanctuary and feed Diamon’s Natural Cat Food for Active Cats. After losing the 12th cat in less than six months, I am really beginning to wonder. All are seemingly healthy cats who simply stopped eating, rapidly become very weak and by the time I can rush them to the vet, they are in liver failure. Now I am beginning to wonder.

I’ve been feeding my 11 year old cat the indoor forumla for going on 4 years now and he loves it! His coat looks better than it ever has and he’s about the ideal weight. This cat food costs about the same as the big name brands that are loaded with corn and byproducts but has the ingrediants of the more expensive brands. I pay $8.99 for a 6 lb bag.

I just recently started my cats on Diamond cat food and they love it. I love it because they are not shedding as much, their coats look wonderful and they are more active then normal. Thumbs up to Diamond!

My house cats eat Diamond Naturals Indoor, and my outdoor cats eat Diamond Naturals Active. We’ve had great results with this food. We tried the Maintenance formula and were not pleased but saw great improvement in our cats with the ones we feed now. Our senior dog and puppy also eat Diamond Naturals. We spend around $200 per month on cat and dog food and it is well worth the cost for the happiness and health of our pets. There are certainly higher cost foods out there, but at this time we have no need to change.

I was on my second bag of Diamond cat food when my cat got the runs really bad. I switched her cat food and now it has cleared up. I do not recommend this food for any cat lover!

I’m on my second bag of Diamond Naturals for my two male indoor cats, and so far I have only good things to say about the food. One of my boys is slender, and one is built a little more “chunky”. Since feeding them Diamond, both cats seem to be more active and playful. The chunky cat is not getting fatter and I’ve actually noticed that my slender cat is looking more in shape as well. Most of the negative posts seem to have been around the time Diamond had the big recall, which is unfortunate. I’m truly sorry for the loss of those beloved pets. That kind of unfortunate contamination catastrophe could happen to any pet food manufacturer though. After research, I believe it is Diamond’s intent to produce high quality food for pets. In summary, if you’re looking for a higher quality food for a decent price, Diamond is a choice that I would recommend.

I recently switched my 3 indoor older cats over to Diamond Naturals Indoor and have been amazed at the quality. They love it. I no longer have cat vomit in random places and their stool is smaller and firm. I love it. It’s a great price for a good quality food.
I also use Diamond Naturals combined with Merrick Whole Earth Farms for my 3 dogs and they too love it and it makes their coats so smooth.

I foster cats, and I’ve been feeding them Diamond for years. Almost every cat comes in scrawny and in need of some good nutrition. I have been using Diamond for these cats and my personal babes. I have no complaints. My animals have shown nothing but improvement since the switch. I stand behind this food one hundred percent.
